Does anyone knowaboutrecentVivaldiconcertodiscoveryinDresden

Post by alexwill »

Hi everyone.

Musical America is reporting that a very important discovery has been made in Dresden of a Vivaldi concerto. However, the article is password protected, and I can't find any references in the German or Italian media about it or on the web. Here's a link to the mention: https://www.musicalamerica.com/news/

Does anyone know the scoop on this story?

Thanks!!

You probably mean Dresden. Have a look at http://www.qucosa.de/fileadmin/data/quc ... Talbot.pdf (in german).

Yes....sorry about that. I constantly get Dresden and Leipzig confused!

Thanks for finding this article for me.

It doesn't seem that the two articles are talking about the same music. The Musical America article, written by Carlo Vitali, mentions a concerto in A major, an outright discovery. The German article, by Michael Talbot, discusses two concertos in D major and D minor, both of which, if my cursory reading of the German is accurate, already exist in various forms.

You are right. May be there is a new discovered concerto in A major: http://www.codexflores.ch/nachrichten_ind2.php?art=9213.
